OMAR: YES.
THERE ARE MANY ACCIDENTS TO GET
TO.
WHERE WE ARE HERE ALONG RUSSELL
STREET, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF
DEVELOPMENTS AT THIS POINT.
BEHIND US, YOU CAN SEE WERE THE
POLICE OF LOCKED IT OFF.
WE JUST GOT WORD THAT THE SHOCK
TRAUMA GO TEAM IS ON THEIR WAY
TO THE SCENE.
THAT INDICATES THE SEVERITY OF
THIS ACCIDENT AREA WE ALSO KNOW
THAT YOU CAN SEE TO THE RIGHT OF
OUR SHOT.
THE CARS ARE COMING DOWN THE
OPPOSITE WAY.
THEY ARE REDIRECTING THE CARS
STUCK AROUND THE ON RAMP.
WE ALSO GOT WORD THE POLICE ARE
REQUESTING EXTRA BACKUP FOR
CROWD CONTROL.
PEOPLE ARE GETTING FRUSTRATED
AND A HEADING OUT OF THEIR CARS.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN POLICE
REQUEST HEIGHT -- CROWD CONTROL.
YOU TOUCHED ON IT AS FAR AS THE
OTHER SCENES GOING ON.
695 OUTER LOOP, THE POLICE ARE
HAVING AN ISSUE TRYING TO STOP
CARS FROM GOING PAST THIS
CHECKPOINT.
THE OFFICER IS OUT OF HIS CAR.
CARS WERE BLOWING STRAIGHT PAST
THE HE WAS HONKING HIS ON TRYING
TO GET THEM TO SLOW DOWN.
NOW HE IS OUT OF THE CAR
REDIRECTING PEOPLE AROUND.
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE
AIRPORT THIS MORNING.
WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT SOUTHBOUND
95 NEAR EXIT 53.
WE HAVE ONE NORTHBOUND AS WELL.
YOU TOUCHED ON THE ACCIDENT AT
695.
THAT'S THE LATEST INFORMATION WE
ARE GETTING.
ALL THE AGENCIES ARE TRYING TO
GET PEOPLE TO STAY OFF THE
ROADS.
WE SAW THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION.
EVERYBODY IS SAYING TO STAY OFF
THE ROADS.
THE BIGGEST DECEPTIVE FACTOR
THAT WE HAVE SEEN IS WHAT'S
FALLING RIGHT NOW.
IT'S RAIN.
WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN AT THE
GROUND, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER'S
RUNNING.
YOU SEE THE WATER RUNNING ALONG
THE CURB.
THAT'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE
ASSOCIATE WITH THIS RAIN.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SLICK
SURFACES, THIS IS ICE RIGHT
HERE.
MY FOOT IS SLIDING.
IT SLIDING JUST LIKE THIS.
THAT'S THE DECEPTION IT'S OUT ON
THE ROADS.
PEOPLE THINK IT'S ICE AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
JUST PUT SOMETHING UP THAT I
THINK WAS A GOOD INDICATION.
IF YOU'RE OUT DRIVING ON THE
ROADS, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE UNDER
THE ASSUMPTION THAT ANY
PRECIPITATION OR WATER THAT YOU
SEE WILL BE ICE.
WHILE WE ARE WAITING ON THE
OFFICIAL CAUSES OF THESE
CRASHES, JUST THESE CONDITIONS
ALONE CAUSED A MYRIAD OF
SITUATIONS ACROSS THE BALTIMORE
AREA.
LACEE: I KNOW YOU MENTION THE
AIRPORT.
THEY ARE TREATING FOR SOME ICY
CONDITIONS.
FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO
OUT, THEY NEED TO KNOW TO CHECK
BEFORE YOU GO.
WHATEVER ACTIVITY YOU ARE GOING
TO COULD BE CANCELED OR DELAYED.
ADAM: YOU BROUGHT UP SOMETHING I
HAVEN'T HEARD MENTIONED IN QUITE
SOME TIME AND THAT IS THE SHOCK,
GO TEAM.
THIS IS HOW SERIOUS THE WEATHER
SITUATION IS.
THIS IS A -- THEY CAN REQUEST
THE GO TEAM WHEN THEY HAVE
LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES AND
THEY BELIEVE EXTRICATION TIMES
COULD EXCEED ONE HOUR.
WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HER
MASSIVE SCENES WHERE THERE COULD
BE MULTIPLE CASUALTIES.
THEY NEED TO PRAYING THE
HOSPITAL.
WHEN YOU CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO THE
HOSPITALS BECAUSE THE ROAD
CONDITIONS COULD BE SO
DANGEROUS.
THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT YOU
ARE AT, THAT SOUNDS VERY
SERIOUS.
OMAR: WHAT JURIST TO THE SCENE
WAS THE SEVERITY.
WE HEARD AT THAT TIME THAT
MULTIPLE VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED.
AT LEAST ONE CAR SLID OFF THE
RAMP, CAUGHT ON FIRE, SEVEN
PEOPLE WERE INJURED IN NEEDED TO
BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
ON HER WAY DOWN HERE, WE STARTED
TO GET REPORTS OF CRASHES ALL
ACROSS THE AREA, INCLUDING ONE
UP THE ROAD ON RUSSELL STREET
BETWEEN A CAR THAT SLID INTO THE
BACK OF A BUS.
SOME OF THE DANGER OUT HERE, THE
CARS ARE GOING IN VARIOUS TO
REX'S.
THERE IS CHAOS GOING ON THIS
MORNING.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE,
STAY INSIDE.
